Re: Comparison of Bible in HOD and MFW?

Hi--like the previous poster, we used MFW ECC last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. We are beginning Preparing tomorrow and I'm still not sure why I switched! I felt drawn to HOD, like you, and I decided to give it a try this year. I have no idea how it will go or if we will switch back, but I'm exci...

Re: Singapore concern in books 1A&B then beyond them

Hi--my twins used 1B two years ago, and if I remember correctly, the kids learn it, practice it, and then keep using it in subsequent adding and subracting exercises. The concept is repeated in the review exercises in the workbook and textbook as you go along. Once my kids got the concept, they didn...

Re: If you have PREPARING manual IN HAND can someone...

I have been pouring over the manual the past several days and have to say how excited I am about the hands-on projects. Last year we used a different curriculum and the projects were time-consuming and used materials that I often didn't have on hand. So...we usually skipped it, much to my daughter's...

Re: Anyone expecting?

We're having baby #5 in November, so we're starting our year early (Aug. 18) and plan to take several weeks off. Like the others have said, it is easy to school with a newborn, but the toddler is more tricky (did this two years ago). I also have older kids who can help with my current toddler, which...

Question about God's Amazing Creation book

Hi--I purchased God's Amazing Creation, which was listed in the HOD store as part of the economy package for Preparing, but I can't find it anywhere in the manual. Have I missed it? Thanks for any direction you can give me! :?

Re: I am switching

We made the EXACT same decision, with the exact programs. Thank you for your post. Until I received my guide yesterday, I was really beginning to second-guess my decision to switch. But now that I have it in hand, I'm very excited and think it will be great.

Convince me about DITHOR!

Hi--I ordered the manual and some books for Preparing, but I did not order DITHOR. Looking at the manual, I was thinking we don't really need it. Up to now, we've never used a formal reading program. We just read lots and lots of books and narrate occasionally. My kids are great readers and did well...

Thank you for the very clear explanations! I had always imagined combining, but also always wondered who would be the one "held back" or "left behind." I think I get it now, and I've made the leap and placed my order for LHFHG and PHFHG. I will just take it year by year rather than trying to figure ...

I don't have any advice for you--we'll be starting HOD for the first time this Fall (Preparing and LHFHG), but I wanted to say that your post brought tears to my eyes, simply at the wonderfully huge and courageous decision you made for all of your children. God is faithful and will equip and reward ...
